Mariposa is an 8 year old Andalusian/ Quarter Horse mare standing 15.2 hands high. It is impossible to not fall in love with this sweet natured horse. There has not been a time where we were not impressed by her kind and quiet demeanor and her brain, in every new situation she has been in. From the trails, to dressage training, being started over fences, hunter paces, and even cross country schooling, Mariposa has spoiled us with her willingness and good attitude, no matter the task at hand. She is safe for any level rider, kids or your grandma, and can be finished in absolutely any direction.
In the ring, Mary is currently in a dressage based program where she is schooling first level tests. She is working on collection, very basic lateral work, and transitions. Mary is more whoa than go, and can definitely take a joke. She has very comfortable gaits and great brakes! We have started her over small fences both in the ring and out cross country, and we are so impressed with her form, bravery, and how honest she is when faced with new things. At 8, she is still learning how to balance, keep a rhythm, and carry herself, but the ability and talent is all there, ready to be brought along! We cannot stress how good her brain is and how tolerant and forgiving this horse is. You can always train the upper level movements and add to her education, but you cannot train a horse to have the type of good attitude and gentle nature this mare has. A great way to sum her up is to say, she has the talent for the show ring, yet is safe enough to be used in a therapeutic program.
On the trails and off property, Mariposa is a dream. She will hack out all day on a loose rein with no cares in the world. Absolutely anyone can take her on a trail ride. Saddle her up for your grandma, neighbor, the kids, or husbands and guests. Mary crosses all obstacles, goes through water, and is safe ridin
